The friends of humanitywould have good cuuso lor lamentinganything bo manifestly tending topromote the continuance of the war,and extend its mischiefs. The termcivil war is now hardly applicable tothis miserable contest. .Tbo people oltho South are banded against thoseof tho North exactly ns any two European nations, differing in all respectssave language, have been bandedagaiust each other tho Atiatrhinsand the Fursians, for example. lintgive it what name wo may, no onocaa doubt that it is a cruel calamityto tho Americans themselves, ftud,(hough iir much" lass degree, to thorest of tho world, which with oho accord, jiiu3in reprobating tliuir conduct while lamenting it&'fllcts.

Bat whona people are seized with it, they change the name, and call it love of glory.Of tho individual we often hear theremark. that, despicable as the weakness is, it leads ;to no bad: actions.Nothing can be more false. It leadsto motiy crimes, and to that disregardof truth which is tue root ol all ononcos.Certainly, it produces none ottho worst crimes.
